Aug 18, 2026
Season 3
Episode 136
Susan Larkin & Ruby Williams
What if you're never going to feel completely ready to quit drinking?
You keep waiting...
After vacation.
After the wedding.
When work calms down.
Next Monday.
But here's the twist:
Motivation doesn't create action. Action creates motivation.
In this episode, we're sharing 3 ways to finally get fired up without rock bottom, more willpower, or beating yourself up:
- Make one decision from self-love.
- Borrow hope until you have your own.
- Replace pressure with curiosity.
And Ruby shares the fascinating bamboo story that may completely change how you see all those times you thought you “failed.”
Because maybe you haven't been failing at all... maybe you've been growing roots.
If you've been waiting for some magical moment when you'll finally feel ready to change your drinking... this is your "get lit" episode.
